#ThankAGreenkeeper

BIGGA is proud to host Thank A Greenkeeper Day each September, when those who love golf are invited to show their appreciation to the hardworking professionals who make the sport possible.

Golfing personalities send messages of support for Thank A Greenkeeper Day 2023

 

Greenkeepers continually strive to keep the game's playing fields healthy and beautiful with environmental stewardship as a primary focus. Thanks to the overall efforts of the golf industry, golf courses are using less water, employing sustainable management practices and expanding natural wildlife habitats on courses.

Utilising the hashtag #ThankAGreenkeeper, the day is a social media movement seen by millions of people in the UK and further afield and has a real impact on the working lives of golf course professionals. Gestures of support boost morale, increase job satisfaction and foster a culture of mutual respect.

As we approach Thank A Greenkeeper Day 2023, BIGGA will be working alongside our colleagues at superintendents' and course managers' associations across the world to make the day a success, so keep an eye out for tips and ideas to make this year the best yet.

Thank A Greenkeeper Day happens just once a year, but it takes a year-round effort to keep golf courses playable and in top notch condition. So don't be afraid to say thanks to your greenkeepers at any time and make sure to share your experiences with us on social media by mentioning BIGGA and using the hashtag #ThankAGreenkeeper

Please explore the BIGGA website to find out more about the role greenkeepers play in the enjoyment and sustainability of the game.
